Self-Portrait with Beret by Rembrandt Decorative Cushion
Self-Portrait with Beret and Turned-Up Collar by Rembrandt van Rijn, oil on canvas 1659, is a sombre and penetrating study of the artist in his older age. Beneath the cap of a dark beret, Rembrandt’s face bears the mark of experience and emotional depth of his many triumphs and difficulties in life, unflatteringly rendered in atmospheric chiaroscuro in layers of thick, impasto oil paint. Besides the immediacy of expression and psychological depth, the self-portrait reflects a deep study of precedents in Renaissance art, particularly the similarly composed portraits by Giorgione, Titian and Raphael, reinterpreted by the demands of Rembrandt’s penetrating, warmly human honesty.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606 - 1669) was a Dutch painter and printmaker born in Leiden and active in Amsterdam during the height of the Dutch Golden Age of painting. Rembrandt apprenticed briefly with the painter Pieter Lastman before opening his own studio, where he went on to create many portraits, paintings and prints with Biblical, mythological and historical themes. Enjoying great success and fame as a portraitist and history painter, the artist experienced personal and financial hardships after the death of his wife, Saskia. Universally revered as one of the greatest painters and printmakers in Western art, Rembrandt is known for his deep empathy for the human condition. Rembrandt forged his innovative, painterly technique in his own observations of human life and deep study of classical art, the Renaissance, and the form and expression of the human figure.

The cushion is small to medium sized. It can be washed. It is well constructed. The material used is pleasant and feels decent quality. It has a very slight plush feel which is good. It is well labelled and its care clearly stated. Theres nothing not to like about it. All in all a good item. The deduction of one star overall is due to long delays in delivery to the UK. It's not clear if this was due to Zazzle or somewhere else in the chain as I did not receive status updates of dispatch or progress. I cannot comment anymore on that other than to say that was our experience but it may not be the same for you. The printing was surprisingly close to what we were expecting. Its an art piece and on material so its hard to assess the precision of printing but it seems close to the original. The soft lines are reproductions of the original. The colour is a fair reflection of the painting. This was printed in the US and it looks like US quality. No issues.

This is a great idea and so cool that I could do this online and get it delivered. The printing looks okay considering it’s printed on thick material. Not sure if it could have been better.
